Ancient ruins slime rancher
This tree that we're seeing in the ruins is the representation of it in another reality, where it might've ended up, but that's not where it is. There's a lemon tree somewhere, but we're not sure where. (get it?)Ĭlearly, the phase lemon tree is the equivalent of the ghost of a quantum slime. Using what we now know about quantum slimes, let's collapse our possibilities.
Just like the quantum slime's ghost, they are partially visible and don't actually interact with anything around them. The biggest thing that gives it away is their appearance and characteristics. There are a few things with phase lemon trees that help give away exactly what's going on. Pretty straight-forward reference to the most well-known thing in quantum mechanics. This means that it could really be anywhere.Ĭlearly, "other possible realities" just means at some other point where it could have ended up, but isn't. Very heavily simplified, this means that we don't know exactly where any quantum 'thing' really is, but we know how likely it is to be at any given point. Clearly, this is a reference to something called The Uncertainty Principle. "capable of emitting other possible realities of their being" "these other realities can come true" And now they can transcend possibilities of their reality. Called 'ghosts', these other realities can come true, with the quantum slime aligning with the reality of the ghost, effectively teleporting." "some sort of event" So there was an event of some sort. At all times, the quantum slime is capable of emitting other possible realities of their being. "Quantum Slimes appear to have resulted from some sort of event that took place in the Ancient Ruins long ago. Let's start with the Quantum Slime's description. To figure out what exactly he means by that, we've got to start finding some pieces to put together. Hobson has just told us that the Ancient ruins had a purpose, something that they were used for, and that they can still be used.

"Eventually I came to realize what this place was for and how to utilize it." "Will you do the same?" Only one thing is for certain: these folks liked slimes!Įventually I came to realize what this place was for and how to utilize it. "Fascinating aren't they? Who do you think constructed these ancient ruins, and for what purpose? I'd visit this place and ponder that question often.
Hobson writes a note about the Ancient Ruins in the largest chamber that reads: However, with the 0.5.1 update, something's changed. At first, the Ancient Ruins were just a novelty, a new, interesting area, that successfully instilled in me a sense of absolute wonder. "What are the Ancient Ruins?" This is something that I've been pondering for a while now.

If you don't feel like reading, there's a timeline and a tl dr at the bottom that tell you what the theory says, but I can't cram in any explanation, so if you want to know how I came to all these conclusions, I recommend that you at least skim the full product. However, keep in mind that the scientific principles I discuss here are simplified so that a lot more people can get a good grip on them, so don't get your pants in a knot if you thoroughly understand these concepts. I thought that I would also bring it to Reddit to (hopefully) create more discussion on it. So, a few days ago, I had a theory about the Ancient Ruins which I promptly spent a few hours writing about on the Monomi Park Forums.
